Sorry, this may sound noob but cut me a little slack. I have kids now. Can't keep up like before. Anyway, how to I "Make sure your currently in dalvic mode."?

Please ignore that. I'm a dummy. I'll just watch now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mapatton82:
Go into Developer Options and under Select Runtime if Use Dalvik is selected then you are currently in Dalvik Mode.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] podspi:
It starts in dalvik by default. So as long as you don't change it do ART, you should be ok :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jpmi23:
Thanks guys!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mds96:
Also, for anyone that loses root, if the SuperSU app won't update the binaries for you, you can also flash the SuperSU zip in recovery and you're golden!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mapatton82:
Do you remember the steps you followed? I have switched to ART but TiBu FC every time I open it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Eyalkn:
I followed the steps and TiBu and whatsapp FC.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sspencer10:
I built ths morning, have emojis but no sd card within the rom. in recovery sd card works. IDK what happened, but will keep an eye out for a fix
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dave_k605:
Smooth and great, can't wait for working sound, still going to try and use this all day though lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jpmi23:
Have a link for that flashanle SU?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Goose306:
Sound works fine... are you using an old build?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gangaskan:
guess i need to read when flashing :crying: gotta upgrade clockwork : /

Dude beat me to it!?!? ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] misterx51:
Tried it, works well. Thx.

Swiping on keyboard produces FC, otherwise no issue other than the already mentioned
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nickhex89:
Yeah on the old builds

---------- Post added at 04:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 PM ----------

Not to be a stickler but I think the bugs in the newest build need to be listed. Kinda misinforming people thinking the only bug is front cam.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WhiteBoy997:
That's weird. I'm swiping fine without any FC, maybe its on the new builds because I'm still running the 2nd build. Haven't found a need to flash any of the ones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dave_k605:
Any idea why I don't have the Google now page on the left side, or how to get it back there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlokos:
This is the strangest thing. It worked for me yesterday and last night, but when I tried to open TiBu this morning, it FC'd every time. I deleted the app and then re-installed but it continued to FC. Very strange indeed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nillanic:
This is cool, everything I've messed with so far works well.....except for cellular. I have pretty good data, but no voice/sms . Any help? Let me know what anyone would need to help me and I'll give it

EDIT: I'm at work where I know I have a consistent full signal, looks lik eit keeps dropping and coming back up, data still works and voice/sms doesn't. Dailing an actual phone number sits for a while with "Dialing" and eventually I will get "Out of service area"

Another edit: I made a backup in CWM of the stock ROM before flashing this, and just did a restore. I have the same problem still; no voice/sms but working data :S

FINAL EDIT: I fixed it, I had to use the "forbidden tool" and "flash" my imei back
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nickhex89:
I don't see how cause both build 1&2 had major issues. Build 3 on 11/10 is the one that works the best and build 4 on 11/11 had same issues as build 1&2

---------- Post added at 04:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 PM ----------

I switched back to 4.3 till a more stable build comes out cause the battery life was horrible within 5 min I dropped 5% of battery. Plus battery started getting extremely hot. No other ROM does that to me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 117micc:
I had a Sprint s3, sold it and got the Note 2 then broke that so went to Verizon and got the s3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WhiteBoy997:
Your right. I was mistaken. I'm running build 3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RayMcGrath:
go to your launcher settings and turn on google now.:laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] podspi:
Awesome work for all involved. If early unofficial builds of CM are this good, I really can't wait to see what even the Alpha looks like :good:

I'm on the 11/11 build and haven't had any issues except for one instance of spontaneous rebooting, but that was after enabling ART so I am blaming it on that. Haven't had a hiccup since. Calls, notifications, LED light, rear camera, sms, mightytext, all work.

Edit:

Camera quality looks pretty decent, but it is wonky. Worked at first and now gone. Nothing a reboot won't fix but oh well...

xposed framework

i installed xposed framework app and installed the actull framework now i got bootloops.

just a warning to users trying to use xposed framework on kitkat
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mapatton82:
This is because the Xposed framework has not been updated to work with 4.4 yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Eyalkn:

Using the 11/11 build and the pa_gapps that support ART and everything is fine minus storage. I have a sandisk 64gb card formated to fat32. Has worked fine in CM10.2

Ideas? sdcard is about the only thing I need working lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidhudi:
Anyone have the 11/10 build? Please upload I want to see if ART works on that one. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] babygetoboy:
I am using the 11/10 build with ART and can confirm it works and is buttery smooth
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GatorsUF:
Can someone please tell me how to achieve root access for CM10.2? I am trying to backup my files (TiBu) and I cannot achieve root access.

The ROM was rooted and everything functioned until I tried to switch from the stock SuperUser to SuperSU. The app wouldn't install the binaries, the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip and still couldn't open TiBu or any other root app. Seems I broke it... ( I do have "Apps and Adb" check in Dev Options)

I cannot find a good tutorial on rooting the 4.3 ROMs with SuperSU

I really want to try KitKat, but I needa backup my stuff first :)

Thanks!

Fixed it, sorry

I flashed zip, wiped dalvik/cache, restart, reinstall supersu app (in options menu) then everything seems peachy.

On to testing this Alpha CM11 build
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JJHunterx:
I got the same issue. Hopefully someone has a workaround or fix.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TecknoFreak:
Is the External SD working on this Rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] alershka:
For those who have root problems....

It seems that when 4.3 was released, root became harder to maintain due to security changes in Android. Since then, almost every flash I've had has lost root. For that reason, I follow the same steps to regain / maintain root.

When flashing rom, before rebooting, flash the latest superSU (currently 1.65).

After the rom loads, go to SuperSU settings and uncheck enable superuser.

After confirmation that superuser is disabled, recheck enable superuser.

Now when loading your root apps, you will get prompted to allow them again.

It seems that with dirty flashing and CM's built in superuser, sometimes supersu needs to be kick started.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prack:
external sd does NOT work on 11/11
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nillanic:
ART works fine for me on the latest (11/11)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RayMcGrath:
ART broke TiBu. The rom is not reading the ext sd card. Rom manager can boot into recovery and recognizes ext sd card, so backup and restores are still possible. . phone, mms, gps and wifi all working 100%.

so cool to have 4.4 roms heading our way!

tHANKS!!!!

Is anyone having issues with the privacy guard icon lingering in the notification bar? I have it enabled for Facebook and whenever I exit the app the privacy guard icon just stays in the notification bar and refuses to go away.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joedajoester:
What did you do to restore it? I am so afraid of mine being wiped, I did nv backup, but I wish there was more I could do to back it up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nillanic:
Somewhere along my flashing funkiness I lost voice and sms, but I had data still. So I restored from a backup I made in CWM right after unlocking my bootloader earlier, and used it (since it was a stock image) to reprovision, which broke everything even more. I FINALLY found the "Samsung Repair Utility" that lets you change your IMEI, and that fixed it.

In terms of your desire to back up, just use your custom recovery, and copy everything dear to you on your computer or a flash drive if you want to be extra safe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidhudi:
It works. i really don't see a differance in performance but using ART makes the external SD card not function :( maybe time to switch back)

but i love that this rom is moving so quickly in the right direction :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joedajoester:
I read that provision only works on some 4.1.1 ics stock versions, and that the provision fixed it for someone. Weird that it made it worse for you, but can you point me to a link with the software just in case mine is ever wiped. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reborn627:
When I initially installed this ROM it was set to dalvik not ART and I didn't have sd then either. I'm not sure that ART is the culprit. Maybe I'm mistaken but I'm pretty sure I lost ext sd with the CM11 flash not the switch to ART.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joedajoester:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JJHunterx:
Tried that, rebooted, still not working. Storage stills says my SD card is 0.00B. It seems to mount and unmount but doesn't show anything. I tried a different SD card and still got the same results.

Can't use it or see it in the gallery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prack:
I tried it as well, though I think the fix is targeted towards devices that see the sdcard but can't write to it. I don't think it was intended to fix the 11/11 sdcard issue. Does anyone else have any other ideas for this? Was really hoping to get this corrected today.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nillanic:
You and I are on the same page then, however I am lead to believe our issue is different than the one this fix fixes, but I could be wrong
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joedajoester:
Any idea when Mastamoon will be starting them, and is it a build from scratch, or from this rom we have here? The synergy rom imei/meid backup didnt even make a backup file on the sd card. I mounted system and sd card, and still no go. Maybe its cause im on 4.4?

*EDIT* TWRP has a backup efs partition when doing a nandroid, i guess ill do that when i get back on it. Does anyone know if the 2.6.3.1 is working properly with kitkat, i dont want to odin again, it was a nightmare and i dont even remember how i did it :\. If it works fine, where i can get it for our device? And finally, does anyone recommend an app to browse xda with? The official seems to take very long to connect to servers and to launch. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rootofalldroid:
You have to go to a touchwiz based ROM for the synergy zip to work. I flashed the latest synergy ROM and it made the backup for me and I did the zip as well and it worked. I am gearing up to flash this bad boy soon!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] donnyp1:
I'd take that all day long
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joedajoester:
Were you on wifi the entire time, brightness, what apps used, etc. I think my battery might need to be replaced since i can get about 2 hours max out of my battery, very rarely 3, but that was with jellybean cm10.2. I find that chrome eats my battery like a kit kat, so i need an alternative i think. However, i still didn't get to use my phone enough to tell how the battery is, i think its only a little better. After an hour of screen on time, 30% brightness, wifi, mostly chrome, i had 70%. I guess that is good, but i still need to test.

Can't collect logcat for the SD card issue, the play store gives me error DF-BPA-10, Clearing cache and data for the play store then rebooting threw me into a bootloop, had to restore from a backup, and here I am again with the play store error

Both of you are annoying. Stop talking unless you are contributing to the purpose of the thread, or get out and PM each other
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dmeadows013:
The play store issue is most likely a gapps issue. I've seen it before, but I can't remember on which rom/device. I'm building a new build that should fix some other issues. Turns out my machine had an error which caused some serious build errors (too many files open according to the build process, had to reset ulimit) so that may fix some of the other issues such as SD card hopefully.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nickhex89:
Moderator edit, comments removed...the build that works is awesome besides the glitchiness in display that will obviously be fixed in later builds and the cam issue and battery life + battery heating up... it is a great build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nillanic:
I'll pop it on my phone as soon as you are don. In the meantime I'm going to keep messing around and see if I can get the logcat another way (first time actually doing anything with logcats)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nillanic:
Wow, it's nice to see active mods in a forum, thank you!

Apologies if I am doing it wrong, I wanted to get it up as soon as I could. I sideloaded catlog, ran with verbose logging, then with debug logging (again apologies, I barely skimmed through google to figure it out). While logcat was running I opened settings, opened storage, unmounted the sd card, then remounted it. With my lack of understanding on how logcat works, I did both methods just in case. I will be reading up on it so I can do it more effeciently in the future
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] alershka:
I hate to say it but I had to bail on 4.4 for now. I was on the 2nd 11/10 build. I work in a very low signal area and I could not keep data up. I have a tasker script that turns off data if the signal is low and the screen is off but data wouldn't return with out toggling airplane mode.

I also went through two extended batteries while at work for 8 hours. I think that was partially because of the data, because I was deep sleeping, but there was something else chewing up battery. I even deleted the Google keyboard, which was recommended to help with battery.

Hopefully the qcril updates get added in again. No knock on anyone who contributed to these builds, they just don't work for me. Thanks for your efforts, I'll keep my eyes open as the projects progress.

It was an interesting return back to 10.2. My nandroids were from TWRP so I had to replace CWM recovery, wipe, restore my nandroid, wipe, clean install 10.2 then restore my nandroid again. I had a couple of boot loops in there and was getting ready to odin to stock but the repeated wiping finally got me to a point where I could restore.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dmeadows013:
Hmmmm interesting... It seems to recognize and mount your sdcard fine. Not sure what the problem is... Have you tried accessing it with a 3rd party app like Astro? It may be a settings problem, or it may be something else entirely.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nillanic:
If I use astro to copy a file onto the "extSdCard, I get error "Could not write file."

I plugged my phone into my computer, attached is what I see.

I also found after using stock browser a few minutes, it locks up. I suspect this to do something with gapps as well?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] exynos:
Link to the post? And is it buggy?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] podspi:
We should get a list of issues people are consistently having... I've seen people complain about:

1) Poor battery life

2) IMEI Loss (I think?)

3) Graphical Glitches

4) SD Card not working

5) Front/Rear camera not working

Out of all of those, the only issue I've had is #4, and partially #5. Both cameras work fine for me, but sometimes they die (reminds me of PA 4.3 which had similar issues). I'm just wondering, which of these issues are actual bugs, and which are user error? Maybe it doesn't matter if official builds are coming soon, just surprised the same model of phone can act so differently with the same software...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mapatton82:
My battery life on the 11/10 build has been pretty good. 12 hours with 1 hour and 33 minutes of on screen time and still 50% battery. Granted it is light usage but it is better than I was getting with CM 10.2.
